Some of Trump's most controversial relationships include Canada and Mexico; combining to account for 21.5% of the total Google searches on Trump globally. Many analysts are concerned about the economics and trade between the two bordered countries running into the USA, with the future of NAFTA being unclear.

​Across the Atlantic, the name Donald Trump dominates search engines in Europe with 43.9% of all impressions originating in this region. The EU 28 generate 1.87 times more Google searches than Canada. The new President’s euro criticism have possibly influenced some of this interest. Trump's blurry statements on NATO also could have fueled the interest of Europeans, as the EU is currently lacking alternative military protection.

The US republican strikes up more interest in these regions, likely due to his anti-establishment views. Taking a closer look at Europe, our statistics show that up to 13.3% of the global Google searches were originated in France; making it the second highest country globally interested in the words ‘(Donald) Trump’.
